Where Do YOU Fit Into Your Day?

When you wake up in the morning and start thinking about what is on your schedule, I'm curious...

What percentage of your day is focused on you?

There is a general feeling in the U.S. that if every moment of our day isn't packed with activity, that we are not "DOING Enough". If we aren't in meetings all day, or doing all the things to make house = home, or helping everyone, we somehow aren't living up to our EXPECTED potential.

The need to "keep up" with everyone else, or out-do, out-work, or out-miserable each other is still a badge of honor in certain circles. In order to earn this badge you have to shove yourself and your needs down deep because all that matters is how others perceive you.

When you are constantly focused on comparing your life to others, or worried about what others will think about you, you land yourself smack into being a "supporting role" in your own life. Your happiness is the effect of others appreciating/valuing you.

How is that cycle working for you?

My guess is that most everything in your life feels like something you "should do" or "have to take care of", instead of providing you any lasting joy or satisfaction. It's an exhausting existence to always be pushing yourself to make it to the end of the next _______ that is currently needing to be done.

What is it costing you to be in the supporting role of your own life?

Here's the thing.

💥YOU matter.💥

If you want to experience life in a different way, you need to start attending to the thoughts and beliefs you are currently accepting as true. Pick up your head and broaden your vision from tunnel to 360 degrees. There are choices available that you aren't even aware of because you haven't challenged yourself to see.

That's my job as a coach. I ask the questions that help you see the opportunities you've been missing. I provide space for you to step into the staring role of your life and give you a chance to be acknowledged for your efforts, heard, and understood in a new way.

Shifting your focus and your mindset doesn't mean you have to stop doing all the things if you don't want, but it can help you remove the constant weight on your shoulders that you've been living with. Without that heavy pack of expectations and comparisons, you just might find you are able to stand up straight and have the energy to also focus on what's important to you.

What might that feel like?

Being the staring role in your own life will take a different kind of effort, but the rewards are worth it. If you feel like you are READY to do the work, and experience some peace in your life, then follow this link to apply to work with me. I would dearly love to hear your story, and add your name to the list of women who I've had the privilege to journey with.

In the end, it's your life. How do you choose to live?
